I call this look 'Holden Caulfield Heroine', and I'm basically trying to channel Franny Glass from Franny and Zooey, who I think is about the same age as me and equally existential. So of course, everything I am wearing is vintage. I'm planning on having a nice quiet day and then getting rip roaring wasted tonight.
Oh! I also managed to get a good picture of myself with the lovely Shetland sheep we keep on the farm. They are so small, cute and fuzzy which makes them really fun to play with!

nothing says existential like vintage!
Unless you are a rich new yorker like Franny, then it's all "tra la la Burberry!"
(I like your interpretation better)
Happy birthday!
happy birthday! love the outfit, and love that your channeling zooey. hope you have a lovely day :)
Happy happy birthday! You look awesome as always. Have a magnificent day!
Happy Birthday, Izzy! :) Have fun partying!
Years ago, I adopted a pair of ferrets from a shelter named Franny and Zoey. It was sad because they were terribly abused, but I gave them a good home for the rest of their lives. Sometimes a rocky start can turn out well, don'tcha think? ;)
happy birthday! the last picture is way too awesome, i'm totally in love with the chunky knits and ear flap hats will always have a special place in my heart.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
haha, "bizarre adult living on my own terms" is probably the best description of adulthood I ever read!
Vintage is so hard to find where I live but I love your out fit. & happy birthday !
Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday! I've got that scary 20th birthday looming next year, I loved the Twilight video blog where you basically ended up mourning the end of your teens- I felt your pain! Ah, to be old.... :( Well, not really, but to feel it, tis sad.

Cute outfits, really like the top one!
I can't remember anything from Franny and Zooey as it's been years since I first read it. But I do know that your outfit is quite awesome and beautifully put together either way. Love the blouse with the cardigan!
Happy 20th, Isabel! Have a shit ton of fun getting wasted tonight.
Happy birthday!!! I love the vintage feel of this. The socks are nice.
Happy 20th! I love that dramatic red coat.
wow you are so damn young..Happy Birthday Isabel and Happy holiday too :D
Great pics! I love that big, red coat!
I can't believe that I'm friends with someone your age, so that says a lot about your maturity (and wit/humor).
Happy Birthday!
Love the pic with the sheep, but I'm glad we don't have the technology yet for smellovision. (i know that's weird, o.k.?)

Happy Birthday!!

And SHEEP!
I really can't believe you're only twenty, you're so mature/awesome for your age.
It's been a while since I read Franny & Zooey (I think I read it when I was twenty, actually!) but I can totally see you as her.
i love the top look, with the cream! it makes me think if diane arbus found a nerdy librarian with the love of chanel's color palette.
also, you farm sheep?
how awesome.
there was this hilarious movie about sheep.
